Thank you to everyone who donated during our October blood drive. The Irish in BC Partners for Life team now has 170 members!
126 of you gave blood and another 16 appointments were booked, bringing us to 142 of our 150 goal. Every one of those donations can help save lives: for surgeries and emergencies, cancer treatments, premature babies, burn victims, and blood disorders and diseases.
We are grateful to our community members Alan Cosgrave and Helen Murphy for sharing their personal stories about how donations have directly impacted their lives. This is why we donate.
